Re: Preventer Rigging -- Lessons from the Platino Disaster
Interesting question - anyone use a jockey pole with their preventer? That would solve all these geometry problems, which I don't think are all that well solved even when the preventer is rigged correctly. Especially on a boat with aft-swept spreaders.
Bit of a faff, I guess, though.
